For example she refuses to talk to her brothers children since they love their dad. Their dad is her brother and her brother is her arch enemy.

Is a really nice fancy microwave a good present? My mom has a good microwave but it's a little old. But I'm scared it could be a rude gesture like here mom make me food. Lol Is that a okay present?

Well, i'm a 16 year old girl and I have an older brother whose 18 and we don't get along. It hasn't always been like this until over a year ago he put his hands on me and beat me a couple times. It may seem normal for other siblings to fight but it was different because he has anger issue and he left bruises on me. The last time he hit me was a month or two ago and it was pretty bad also, he punched the side of my head. It's the slightest things that ticks him off like me flickering the lights too loud, cooking too loud, getting water, and etc. I don't do it to provoke him to hit me, it's just I can't do anything anymore in the house. I honestly hate him, he makes living here a living hell. I've suffered from depression and i've tried committing suicide due to the living situation. I'm not asking for pity or anything, it's just I feel like I can't live here anymore. Every single day i'm beyond scared and i can't come to my parents about it because they worship him. To them he's the golden child although they know the things he did to me. I just want him gone or at least a way for me to get out of here. I know people have it worse than I do but it's hard to be here, please help.

This hurts so-so much. I am 15 also.

i killed my baby nephew...my sister(his mom) is coming home in an hour..im the only one home..i was watching him..what should i do? what do i do with the body?

I want it to be legal so I can f*ck my sisters at the same time. Also, my 14 year old daughter has been going through "changes" that I am well fond of.

Our school issues us laptops which have inappropriate sites blocked, and they won't let her take it in her room. After her phone broke (not her fault), they won't let her have another one. They won't let her go in their basement by herself to use the treadmill. They blame her for her mental health issues and are insensitive, plus they don't seem to have the intention of helping. Her anxiety makes her vulnerable to guilt, and her parents either intentionally or unintentionally take advantage of that (she doesn't ever stand up to them because they always play the victim and she doesn't want to hurt their feelings). They refuse to let her grow up. She gets no privacy. They won't let us whisper or sit under a blanket when we're at their house. They punish her for inconsistent reasons and don't define how long these will last. They take out their frustration over their other kids or their jobs/life etc on her. They discourage her from getting involved in after-school activities. They like to keep her at home whenever possible, which is terrible because she hates to be at home. They're passive aggressive, or they are just flat our aggressive with loud lectures, and she gets run over by this. I believe that she needs either court mandated family therapy, or to be separated from them. What are the grounds for this? Please help! And unfortunately i could not put all the background information here, so if you have any questions please ask if they are important. To summarize: They shut off her communication with people outside the family They keep her at home in a sort of prison situation, even when she's done nothing wrong They're inconsistent and erratic They take advantage of her with guilt tripping, and they use shouting to overpower her They're overly critical of her They constantly tell her they love her, but she doesn't always feel loved. ETC And, they overall don't operate on any sort of reasonable axis that I can even wrap my head around. Here's some background info that I couldn't fit: I'm a 16 year old guy, and I've had this girlfriend for almost 4 months now. She's only 11 months younger than me at 15, but in school we're two years apart. From the start, her parents have tried to make our relationship as difficult as possible. They are "uncomfortable" (recurring manipulative word here) with her being in a relationship with anyone, especially with a guy who's older. Background continued: ...she's had boyfriends before though, albeit in middle school. I offered to have a talk with them in an effort to make them more comfortable with me multiple times, but they refuse. Anyway, more and more red flags have gone up over time which have convinced me that her parents are toxic. Important to note: she is diagnosed with GAD (anxiety) and ADHD, but she has a slew of other mental health issues that haven't been identified. She has two brothers who are 19 and 20, still living with them. They smoke and aren't a very good influence, and they bully her. Another important detail: When her parents refuse to let her do normal things like go out for a run or to lunch with her friends, this drives her to do more extreme things like get a piercing or try and SELF TATTOO herself, and then when they find out, they watch her even more closely and again refuse to let her do mundane things. It's a vicious cycle. Also, this has effected our relationship at various times. They have so much influence over her, that they've actually been able to convince her to break up with me at various times, even though she loves me to death! I've always been able to rekindle it, and she eventually realizes that she made a mistake, but then she just feels bad afterwards! It's hard enough to have a relationship with someone who has so many mental health issues, but her family makes it so much worse.

I'm a 14 y/o boy and my mum seems to think it's ok to hit me in the balls as punishment. She does it when I get into trouble at school, when I'm rude to her or my little sister or whenever I do something my mum doesn't approve of. She kicks me in the balls a lot, but has also kneed them, punched them and squeezed them. Sometimes she lets my little sister (10) kick me in the balls too! She doesn't care about how painful it is for me and just laughs! Do you agree with her?!

Me and my sister were watching some wildlife programme on the TV and she asked why the lion had two balls hanging down at the back. I said all boys have them. She then asked if she could see my balls, but I said I'd think about it. But now she keeps asking me. I think she's only curious. She's 9 and I'm 15.

He doesn't flush the toilet it's so gross I share my bathroom with him he's 27 makes me wonder if he doesn't wash his hands sometimes either I don't know if he does it to bother me or if there is another reason.

My younger sister always gets special treatment. She broke her phone and dropped it in water so my mum got her a new one. I have done that and I had to pay for repair myself. If she wants to order expensive clothes online, my mum will right away. She just shoves stuff in the shopping cart and expects my mum to pay for it which she will. If I need new books or pens for college, she'll tell me I don't need them but when my sister needs them she'll buy them for her and extra. My sister is very much of a material person. You won't see an item of clothing in her wardrobe that doesn't say holister or jack wills. I am not a material person but if I do want something like that. I'll have to pay myself. I have a job that pays well and a few weeks ago my mum took us shopping. Whilst we were shopping my sister went into a makeup store and didn't have any money, so my mum made me use my wages to pay for her makeup which she didn't need in the first place. It's not the money I care about. To be honest, I'd rather her get the same as me than I get as her. I want my mum to stop seeing my younger sister as the 'golden child' and see us both the same. What do I do?

So my dad and mom have been separated/divorced for 2 1/2 years he has been seeing this lady for 2 years. She has three kids who fight all the time but I love the girlfriend she is such a great person and I love her. This is my dad's fist girlfriend since the divorce. Anyway my dad left his phone on the counter while he was gone, so i messages popped up so then I read it and it said "HEY YOU HAPPY MONDAY! HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT DAY, WANT TO GRAB SOME DRINKS LATER OR SOMETHING" It was her first and last name so I found her on Facebook and she is super ugly, has two kids and is a physiologist. Why would my dad be cheating and going out to dinner with her? I'm upset and mad at him!!

My dad has been going out with this girl who is 17 years younger than him and he is 38 the first time I met her was when I was going away from home by myself for the first time...I thought he took off from work to see me off but he brought her instead unannounced to the house and spent the entire weekend taking her out on expensive dinners and other dates...I only get to see him maybe 4 hours in total of the 5 day week and for a day and a Half on the weekend(friday night to saturady afternoon he stays with her). I only get to see my mom a few hours on sundays so I don t really spend time with either. I told him how I felt he apologized but proceeded to do the exact same thing 23 other times. I finally asked him point blank not to bring her to the house any more and to just stay at her house the whole weekend if thats what he wanted. He continues to bring her to the house and even into my room when he knows I don t feel comfortable around her. On top of all of this he acts cruel towards me around her yelling at me more often. Sorry this was REALLY LONG. what should I do He also told me my mother didn't want to see me the day after christmas so he could take her(his girlfriend) on a date for her birthday. I thought my mom really didn't want to see and felt terrible for the rest of the day until she called and asked if I was coming to see her or not

I m 15, almost 16 and my nan has offered for me to stay at hers during my GCSEs due to my house being noisy and the fact I constantly argue with my mum and the new step-father . I really want to have a break away from the arguments because it s making me feel depressed and my mum simply doesn t understand that. She doesn t want me to move out. It s making me have emotional breakdowns but she just won t listen to me and I don t know what to do. The past few months we ve just argued constantly and I m tired of it.

My husband and I have been together for along time, but my relationship with his family has always been very rocky. When I first met them, I was still in high school and the first thing his grandma asked me was if I had my green card. I explained to them that my mother was asian and my father was caucasian, born in America. Another time after going to their house, I said, "Thank you for inviting me to dinner." And his mother replied, "Well, we like to keep our son happy." His dad will often ignore me when I come over and will only say hello to me if I say hello first. I didn't go into the career I majored in during college, instead getting a job in publishing and his grandparents have been treating me coldly ever since. Whenever I'm around his family, I feel like they say things to me that are hurtful but then they'll cover it up with a nice comment right after, like, "(insert rude comment about me), BUT you made our son stop drinking so much and I'm thankful for that." Because they're my husband's family, I can't help but care what they think and it upsets me really badly. I think about it all the time. I told my husband about it, but he doesn't ever see them acting this way. I'm scared to bring it up to them because I don't want to make things even more awkward and give them another reason not to like me. They don't treat his sister's husband like this. Would you continue seeing your husband's family if they make you feel unwelcome when you go to their house?

So I'm not a mushy person who tells everyone she loves them all the time , not even some of the time . I love my family to pieces and I'll do anything for them but I'd rather show them through action than tell them. When my younger brother tells me he loves me I get a weird feeling. It's just so cheesy to me but he's actually my favorite brother and I love him dearly. I don't mind telling a significant other that I love them but if they start telling me they love me too much I back away. What's wrong with Me?????

I don't know if CPS can get involved since I'm 18, but I'm in high school. I remember when I was four, I fell and hit my face on the kitchen floor, knocking out one of my teeth. Instead of my mom asking if I was ok, she beat me. When I was eight years old, my mom made me wash clothes and clean everything around the house, and I wasn't allowed to go outside and learn how to ride a bike, or swim like other children my age. Besides that, my mom is constantly cussing me out. For instance, she knows that I'm lactose intolerant, and she made lasagna with extra cheese. So I cut a slice and took off the cheese, then she yells at me, "Why do you always **** **** up? Do this one more time and I'm going to **** you up!" At this point, I'm used to he cussing me out, but it still hurts. A few years ago, I used to be suicidal, and instead of my mom helping me get through tough times, she constantly told me, "I don't care what you do. If you kill yourself, you're going to Hell." Also, she likes to "joke" around and tell people that she doesn't want me (in front of my face) and that she wishes I would just leave. I told her how she makes me feel when she says that, but she told me that I'm too sensitive.

Hi. My boyfriend lives in California and he wants to study here in Germany, to be with me. But there is a problem. A big problem: His family is Muslim. So his brother and sister are completely against the relationship. His parents don't even know about the relationship. They would have a mental breakdown if they knew. His mom is already against him studying abroad for some reason. How can he gain support from his parents? And even if he does manage to do so, his siblings will do anything in their power to prevent him from studying here in Germany. Even if it means telling the parents about the relationship. What should he do? What should I do to help him? This is a really bad situation.

I'm 13. I wanna take drama for GCSE but my parents told me I'm not good enough. I told them I wanna follow my heart and go to a performing arts university, but they just told me to shut up. What I basically heard was that my dream is dumb and pointless, and I'm not allowed to take GCSE drama. Parents are supposed to encourage their kids! I was thinking about escaping until my mum walked in my room. She said that I made her wanna walk away and never come back, just cuz I raised my voice at my parents cuz I wanna make my dream into a reality. I feel like a brat. What do I do?

Did anyone had any similar experience? How you guys think i should respond to that?

I am attracted to my cousins corpse and in math double negatives take out each other and make a positive, does this principle apply here (necrophilia and incest) and make it okay for me to make the approach?

I'm 17 and I have decided not to eat any more animal products. When my mom makes meat, I refuse to eat it and they get mad. I have a job and I buy the foods I want, so I should be able to eat what I want. I do not want to support the cruelty the meat and dairy industry does unto the poor, innocent animals

My boyfriend lives in California and he wants to study here in Germany, to be with me. But there is a problem. A big problem: His family is Muslim. His brother and sister know that he's got a boyfriend and they are totally against the relationship. His parents DON'T know about the relationship. They would get a nervous breakdown if they found out!! His mother is already against him studying in Germany. How the hell can he gain support from his parents? And even if he gains support from his parents, his brother and sister would do ANYTHING in their power to prevent him from studying here in Germany. Even if it means telling the parents about the relationship. What should he do? How should I help him?!?! This is killing me!! I f**** hate his family!! Btw: Tuition fees don't exist in Germany. College and University are free here. So his family would pay LESS financial support if he studies in HERE than in California. Maybe this info is useful? I don't know, but it's a good argument to study in Germany, I guess. I've been with him since Summer last year. So it's a serious relationship. And if he manages to study here, it would already be next year!! So it's not too unrealistic I guess. He just needs support..

My mom favors my 10 year old sister! She doesn t try to hide it either! Today she asked my sister if she was hungry and my sister said yes. So, she made my sister and herself some pancakes. While she was cooking them, I came in the kitchen and asked her what she was cooking. She said pancakes and then I asked her if she could make me some. She said no because she didn t have enough batter. This wouldn t be a problem if there wasn t a bowl half full of batter sitting right there! I told her and she went ballistic calling me a liar and a little *****! Also yesterday me and my sister were showing my mom pictures of our trip with our dad to Canada. She smiled at all the pictures of my sister but frowned at my pictures! She commented how cute my sister was in all of the pictures and when I asked if I was cute she didn t respond and continued talking about my sister! By the way I am 11 and my sister is 10. These situations happen all the time. But whenever I try to bring it up to her, she gets angry and stomps off! I m done with it!

Hey guys, I have a touchy topic that I need to share with you all. I am not happy with my life. If any of you have the same thing like me just comment down. OK. Every day I just think to myself "Where will I be in this amount of years?" and every time I'll say right here living with my mom or sister. I feel like my life would be great somewhere else in a new state or city, (I'm 22 by the way). Most of you would say "She's too young to live by herself" and you're right, but I am ready to live by myself.About my mom, she's like the overprotective mother, she's the kind of mom that wont teach me how to drive, cook, or have friends, and each and every day I will sit at home staring at 4 walls, and I feel like I have so much more in life, than sitting here on the couch doing nothing. Also I have another topic to sIsare with you... And please no rude comments, just honest opinions

My father hates Iranians. He thinks all Persians are terrible people and that because they're a different race and one from the Middle East, their men all seek to enforce their patriarchal, male-supremacist views on our people. I'm a Japanese American female engaged to an Iranian-born Emirati. I'm in my late 20s. From what I've seen of him, he respects women. He's very charming and humble and really hot and handsome!!!!! And he's a really successful restaurateur and speaks English really well and easily. But my father got into a brutal physical confrontation with him under the delusion that my fiancé was abusing me and manifesting his Islamic male chauvinist views on me and my father got beat up. So, is my father racist or is he really, really troubled?

It drives me up a wall. My boyfriend is always late. (being late is a pep peeve of mine) It drives me up a wall. One time we had plans at 4, and I called him he told me well I haven't started anything yet. Its okay to take two hours. I got so mad because he knew all day we had plans at 4. He couldn't understand why I was so mad because with his ex's it didn't matter. They never cared. Yesterday we had plans, and I told him we have to be on the road no later than 9. He went back to sleep, and we ended up being an hour behind. He got mad that I was complaining up a storm. It drives me crazy!!!!!

I really wanna do drama for GCSE but my dad spoke to my drama teacher. I'm in Stagecoach and the people who run it love what I do there. However, they told me I'll get a bad grade in the academic part, and they're trying to stop me doing it. I don't think they're allowing me to take it. I tried to convince them that I want to follow my heart, but they aren't letting me take drama. What do I do? They aren't being good parents at all. They apr by encouraging me at all; theyre just stopping me. I want to get new parents.

one day I serendipitously sent my sister a nude when I meant to send it to my gf and she sent one back. since then, we've just exchanged nudes every few hours. we haven't talked about it or anything. is this weird?

We have a sibling group that was placed in our care and we were informed that the 2 year old will go to mom first if the case is approved. Then if the mom shows that she can fully care for the child his infant sister will be next. We are obviously heart broken but feel connected to these children. The mom and grandmother do not have legal status in the U.S. and are worried about what would happen if one of them is deported or both are deported. They also worry about finances as work is becoming harder to come by. We would really like for the children to stay with us and would be open to an open adoption. What is the best way to present this to the social worker or family? Can a foster parent have contact with the bio mom outside of the regular visitation hours?

It is not as bad as when his kids were younger but he is still scary.

My sister and I have always been so close. We went through crap no child ever should and she is the only other person in the world who understands that same pain. We may have a had a love hate relationship together growing up but as we got older we became best friends. Shes the first person I tell good news or ask for advice If I need help with something. Last year she had a etopic pregnancy and didnt tell me about it but told my younger cousin because she didn't want to worry me. I told her I'm 25 and it's extremely hurtful that you kept that from me because of my feelings. She told my cousin again this past year she was pregnant first. Then once she had my niece just recently she didn't want anyone around while in labor. It turned out to be a really difficult labor but we all respected her wishes and went to work any way. It was really difficult that I couldn't even be in the hospital to let her know she had support when she pushed everyone away. Through out the labor she kept telling me and my mom we can come we can't come. So when It got too late we just went home because they clearly had it under control. The next morning my niece was already born. We slept in late because we were out so late since we were stir crazy after work. She then texts me I can come in and see her if I wanted to. I told her I'll come in later since we put our lives on hold because she couldn't make up her mind. How do I tell her how I feel at some point without causing even more friction?

My step mom and my dad got married 9 years ago , my step mom hates my real mom because she s gets a lot of child support because she s a single mother who works long hours and still doesn t make enough . Acouplr months ago my step mom found out me and my 17 year old boyfriend had sex , we have been dating for 11 months now but she found out when we were dating at 6 months. She constantly judges me for it and then denies that she would talk badly about me behind my back . Then she starting telling her 18 year old daughter things basically making me out as a whore for buy a lacy pair of underwear. When her daughter wears the same crap but because she doesn t have a bf she doesn t judge her for it . My bf doesn t even know I have them I bought them so when I go to dance class you can t see my panty line . She even went as far as telling my father I ve had sex when my grandmother told her he didn t need to know because I was being safe ; I ve been taking the pill and using condoms since we first did it and I made that decision to do that by myself because I didn t want to be reckless. Which turned into her making my bf tell his father .All the kids in the house are tired of her treating me this way . I want to just live with my mom if she keeps bringing me down like this and treating me like crap but I don t want to cause drama for my dad and mom and I don t want to miss out on spending time with my two sisters that I only see when I m at his house . What should I do ?

My 5yo daughter( im a single dad) was acting up last night. I asked her to eat 5 carrot sticks, she refused. I asked again, she told me I was mean and to shut up. Promptly put her in timeout, but she kept going, stuck her tongue out at me( not a felony, but still disrespectful). Put her to bed early and last thing she said was that she hated me and never wants to speak to me ever again, Was I too harsh?
